Chris, good job on the gamecast/blog thing. It was nice to come back and read some of your takes on the plays. I posted some of my more player-specific thoughts on the other Rattler fan blog. Just three things that came to mind while we were there:
-It would have been nice if the players could have signed a bit longer after the scrimmage. I know, I'm sure they are busy getting ready for Thursday, and getting settled in Appleton, but I saw people still entering the stadium at 5:15 when I was leaving, because they thought it ran until 6. This happened the last two years too, that the players were pulled away before the said ending time. Kind of a bummer for those that had to work late and hoped to catch just the last hour of autographs.
-We noticed some holes and/or gaps in the net behind home plate, especially where the net ties into the vertical support cables. Not to get all safety police-ish, but after being in attendance for a Brewers spring training game in 2007, when a foul ball went straight back through a gap in the netting and hit a spectator in the face. Rumor was that it was actually Kevin Towers(?) of the Padres front office that got hit. (It was a Padres/Brewers game in late March from Peoria, AZ). Since then, I've always been squirmish about openings in the netting, and it bothers me when kids play on the net during games and parents don't seem to think anything of it. I imagine these can be zip tied back up pretty easy.
-Lastly, what was that orb looking thing on the ground between sections 100 and 101 (I think) along the railing/net? Is that something new for the radar gun, or for the new video scoreboard? (scoreboard looked great by the way, can't wait to see the videoboard in actual action during a game.)
